What traditional chinese medicine actually involves, and how people use it.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a complete system of health that includes acupuncture, Chinese herbs, dietary advice and practices such as cupping, used to support balance in the body.
The practitioner asks detailed questions, often looks at the tongue and feels the pulse, then suggests an individualised approach that may combine acupuncture, herbs and lifestyle advice. First appointments usually last 60 to 90 minutes.
Fees vary by location and what the session involves, and herbs are usually extra. Many practitioners on Welvow list their pricing on their profile.
Look for membership of a body such as the Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine (ATCM), and the British Acupuncture Council for the acupuncture side. Every practitioner on Welvow is independently reviewed.
